Home is in the hearts of those you love and who love you. Wherever they may be, THAT is your home.

I'm always amazed at the lengths to which people will go to trying to avoid getting either a Class A or a Class B non-CDL driver's license in Texas!

As Barb pointed out, the written and driving test isn't difficult...and if you can't pass one or the other, you have no business driving a large vehicle.

When we were domiciled in Texas, we pulled a fifth wheel with an MDT and needed to get Class A driver's licenses. We took our tests in Van Horn where we were required to parallel park our fifth wheel. I, who had never even backed up the fifth wheel before, was able to pass the test after my husband spent about half an hour teaching me to back up in an empty parking lot. If I can pass the driving test under those circumstances, anyone can.
